Interesting results from the ACF 2023 annual survey. I’d say it is wildly popular among developers.

Here is a good video from Paul Charlton on how to use ACF Flexible Content fields with Bricks.

ACF 6.2 has been released. It includes the option pages UI (pro only) and bidirectional relationship features (free and pro).

Coming in ACF 6.2 are two new features: built-in bidirectional relationship fields and built-in option pages. Up until now these features required a code snippet to enable, but with ACF 6.2 they can be setup with the user interface.  

In this video Paul C considers several solutions for custom fields that are ACF alternatives.

An easy technique using ACF and the Block Visibility plugin to restrict content by user access level.

ACF 6.2 Pro will include the ability to create an admin page within the UI. The ability to create bi-directional relationships in the UI is also coming, though I’m not sure it will be in 6.2.

Phil Kurth of Hookturn is releasing a new ACF extension plugin called ACF Remote Sync. It lets you sync field groups across sites.

The ACF team is offering an annual survey with the first one starting now. I’ve been very happy to see the direction that ACF is taking and asking for feedback like this is another example. If you are using ACF then sharing how you use it and providing input could be helpful to the team.
